The Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) is an independent, non-profit, non-partisan public policy research institute with offices in Washington D.C. and Warsaw dedicated to the study of Central and Eastern Europe. CEPA’s stated mission is to promote an economically vibrant, strategically secure and politically free Central and Eastern Europe. Founded in 2005, CEPA provides a forum for scholarly research, writing and debate on key issues affecting the countries and economies of the Central and Eastern European region, their membership in the European Union (EU) and relationship with the United States (US).
CEPA focuses on issues in the Baltics, the Visegrád Four (Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic), the Western Balkans, the "Eastern Neighborhood" and Russia, and the Black Sea region.
CEPA's StratCom Program is dedicated to monitoring and exposing Russian disinformation in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Led by CEPA Senior Vice President Edward Lucas and CEPA Senior Adjunct Fellow Donald N. Jensen, the program is intended to assist policymakers in advancing transatlantic efforts to develop a comprehensive and effective strategy to counter Russian disinformation in the CEE region. CEPA’s work against Russia’s disinformation efforts has been noted in policy circles, and attracted praise from Congressman Ed Royce.
The CEPA Forum is the leading annual transatlantic security conference in Washington, DC. The CEPA Forum aims to strengthen U.S.-Central and Eastern European (CEE) ties at both the intellectual and people-to-people levels through structured annual engagement on important themes in transatlantic policy. It provides an opportunity for U.S. and CEE officials, experts and corporate leaders to engage in candid discussions about CEE defense priorities, changes in American strategic thinking and the future of NATO security cooperation.
